Brunello di Montalcino is Tuscany’s grand statement 100% Sangiovese, aged for years before release, and usually priced to match its reputation. This one skips the theatrics and gets straight to the good part. Grown in the high hills around Montalcino and drawn from the widely celebrated 2021 vintage, it delivers Sangiovese with real depth: sour cherry, dried herbs, a twist of orange peel, and the savory, mineral grip that makes Brunello worth the wait. Firm but polished tannins and bright acidity mean it drinks well with dinner tonight or rewards a few years in the cellar.
